That's enough work

I do apologize for doing so poorly at getting any blog posts written.  I've been working on (and totally avoiding) this cognition paper because it is the devil.  Who knew something three pages long could feel so evil.

I'm packing up now to leave this apartment and move in with Ana for the next 12 days before I leave Bordeaux.  That's all that's really going on.  I unfortunately have to think about think about the future (as in farther than what I'm going to maybe eat for dinner) in order to get everything out of my room and the rest of it all cleaned up.  I didn't really make any amount of messes in the room though so I don't think they would really even notice if I didn't clean it, honestly.  Maybe dusting the tops of the registers.

Last night I went to Julie's for her official housewarming party, though she's been there at least a month, and I think even more than that, because I don't remember anything about the original housewarming party except that I was there and I drew a hand turkey for her to put up on her wall (ironic that the next time I'd be in her apartment would be on Thanksgiving).

I had a good time at Julie's party.  Then Sofie and I left around midnight to go back to Victoire.  On the way I saw a tram (which I thought wasn't running anymore) and so I got on it.  Turns out the tram wasn't moving and I was just sitting there for like 5 minutes.  Yanis was on the same tram, so he came over to talk to me even though I hadn't seen him since the very beginning of the semester.  In the end we got off the still-not-moving tram and walked up to Victoire together.

Then I bought a panini from the really quiet man that sometimes works the night shift at the bakery.  He asked if I wanted sauce on it and I didn't know so I just agreed and he asked what kind and I didn't know so I just agreed again.  In the end the sauce he put on was super delicious so that's definitely my plan for next time.

I have also learned how to hack the German language.  I have some stress with the articles since there's three genders and then some other things about turning them declarative or something, and it's just a disaster.  So I've decided if I'm ever in a situation where I need to actually get a message across to a German in German I'm going to drop all articles and just use "some/something" instead.  Can we have a fork? now becomes Can we have some fork?  which still sounds foolish, but I don't even care, #lifehack #ingenious

I'm done now.  I think I did enough work today.
